BTS fans were also the force behind the group's win for Top Social Artist at the 2018 Billboard Music Awards. BTS rapper RM voiced his gratitude to fans in an interview prior to the awards show in May.

"The thing we are most proud of is our fans. ARMYs made all this possible," the rapper said. "It still means a lot -- something we can never get used to."

BTS will release the new album Love Yourself: Answer on Aug. 24. The K-pop stars promoted the album last week with the comeback trailer "Epiphany" featuring Jin.
